Liposuction cost – what does it mean?

Written by Chelsea Kim. Posted in Body Sculpting

Body image is directly related to how we feel about ourselves and our self- confidence. Liposuction surgery can transform the shape of our body by removing fatty tissue to give you new confidence and resurgence on life. Having the fat sucked out of certain body areas will make the particular area look leaner.

Liposuction surgery is one of the two most common procedures performed by cosmetic plastic surgeons. In most cases, this surgery is often performed without experiencing any major problems.

Liposuction is an option for whom diet and exercise have not improved the contours of certain parts of the body.

Liposuction Cost

Obviously, as with any cosmetic procedure, cost becomes a significant factor when considering surgery. As a result, it has now become common practice to ‘shop’ around for prices as part of the decision making process.

Nevertheless, the quality of liposuction should be more important than the cost of liposuction. If you are a bargain hunter, you should not be negotiating for the safety of your body! Choosing a liposuction surgeon based on the lowest price might eventually be the most expensive choice if results of the initial surgery are less than desirable that you need another surgeon to repair the damage from the first procedure.

Liposuction prices are important but it should not be the determining factor when considering liposuction surgery. Many top quality plastic surgeons profess to this fact: liposuction is a hand-crafted art form. Therefore consider the surgeon’s apparent skill, reputation and experience as these qualities become more critical than surgery price.

The cheapest cost might mean that the surgeon performed the procedure quickly and with less than desirable outcomes. Consider this: many years after your liposuction, you will probably not remember the exact figure you paid for the procedure but you will always be aware of the quality of the surgery for the rest of your life. The most common disappointment with liposuction surgery is dissatisfaction with the end result (especially when it looks as if nothing was done).

Liposuction fee

Liposuction fee usually depends on how many areas are treated by liposuction. The fee structure increases when multiple areas are treated. Prices vary because it depends on the particular area for surgery. For example liposuction of the arms will be less than liposuction of the thigh.  The cost of surgery ranges from US$1,800 to US$5,500 on a single day to as much as US$10,000 or more when multiple areas are treated on separate occasions over a period of several months.
